Very good.

I suppose Emerie's arc in this season has been fairly predictable. Obviously she's a level-headed individual in the wrong place, and obviously she'll figure out how to make the right choice and get these children out, and more than likely assist our title characters at some point. It still made for a great episode though. I love it when these Star Wars shows get mature and aren't talking down to the audience either. And they also show off the series' best production in terms of editing and music.

Cad Bane stealing another child(!) is so heartbreaking! I always get so emotionally invested whenever there's some form of child endangerment. Bane is a cool character though.

I find it interesting that this may have tied up a loose end from Clone Wars S2 when he was kidnapping force-sensitive children for Palpatine then as well. I always assumed that was because Palps just wanted to bring the children over to the dark side, but this implies that it could easily have been a part of Project Necromancer now. It's kind of clever if that's the case.

Either way, this was a great change of pace. I've enjoyed just about every episode of this season so far!
